Post-Grad Aviation Safety

[Amygdala1]

WANTED: Advice needed on a decent institution that offers Masters in Aviation Safety. This could be specific safety or accident investigation, generic, HF or management dominated. I would need an assessment of a bucket load of courses (dips) completed etc + quals and experience in a variety of aviation fields with consequent formal level recognition and entry credit. True external study (this means NO attendance requirements of any sort). I want somewhere that is not just after my money or intent on making the entry/application experience a pain in the ....

NOT WANTED: 300 questions, referees, moronic on-line application processes, sub-grade and anachronistic material, requirements to purchase outdated texts, illegible comments by lecturers, hidden attendance requirements to an external based study regime (yes paid-up, been there and bitten).

Please PM me if you can assist.

I'd rather post here than PM, since it's not confidential and somebody else may get something from it.

If it's a Mphil rather than an MSc, you could try Brunel (http://www.brunel.ac.uk/about/acad/sed/sedres/cem/bfsl), for an MSc Cranfield (http://www.cranfield.ac.uk/students/courses/page1764.jsp). Both will do it full time or part time, neither is likely to accept NO requirement for attendance on campus. Both are likely to be impressed by all of your previous stuff as part of the entry requirements, neither is likely to give you a lot of credits - if any - for it.

You could also see what you can cherrypick from the Embry-Riddle (http://www.erau.edu/degrees/ma-degrees.html) collection of full-time, part-time and distance learning masters programmes.

All are serious and respectable players, all will therefore require you to do some solid work and see you on the odd occasion.

I can't imagine anybody awarding an MSc to somebody they've never actually seen. Most will also be reasonably picky about who they take on, so you might want to be a tad less forceful in your tone if you contact them.

GtE Thanks and comments and consel accepted. I'll research via your suggestions. Yes, I'm not after a gift, never minded the hard work; just don't want the attitude and poor quality product - as I said twice burnt, low patience!

Try this:

Safety and Accident Investigation (Air Transport) MSc/PgDip/PgCert - Cranfield University (http://www.cranfield.ac.uk/students/courses/page1812.jsp)

I recommend it.

University of New South Wales is a good one.

Flying Spike, Mick Strigg, 4Greens your help is appreciated. Thank you so much - I will research. Nothing so valuable as a personal referral. :ok:
